What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute consultation where we review your complete health history, current symptoms, and weight loss goals. We may recommend laboratory testing to identify underlying metabolic issues, food sensitivities, or hormonal imbalances. Based on these findings, we create a personalized treatment plan that might include dietary modifications, targeted supplements, and aesthetic treatments. Follow-up appointments typically occur every 2-4 weeks initially, allowing us to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. We provide ongoing support through nutrition coaching, lifestyle modification guidance, and regular check-ins to ensure you're staying on track toward your goals.

Why Choose Yen Health and Wellness

What sets us apart is our commitment to finding and treating the root causes of weight gain rather than just addressing symptoms. Unlike typical weight loss clinics that rely on restrictive diets or medications, we take time to understand your unique biochemistry and lifestyle factors. Our naturopathic approach means we look at everything from hormone function to gut health to stress levels. We also offer aesthetic services that complement your weight loss journey, helping you feel confident throughout your transformation. Our patients appreciate our personalized attention - you're never just a number here. We celebrate small victories and adjust our approach based on what works best for your body and lifestyle.

Insurance & Pricing

As a naturopathic and aesthetic practice, most of our services aren't covered by traditional insurance plans. However, we accept HSA and FSA payments for qualifying treatments. Initial consultations range from $200-300, with follow-up visits typically $100-150. Laboratory testing costs vary depending on which panels we recommend. Treatment packages are available and can provide better value for comprehensive care. We offer flexible payment plans to make our services accessible to more patients seeking natural weight loss solutions.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment having fasted for 12 hours if lab work is planned, and bring any recent medical records or test results you have. Write down your current symptoms, medications, and supplements so we don't miss anything important. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing since we may need to perform a physical examination. Keep a 3-day food diary before your visit - this helps us understand your current eating patterns. Be prepared to discuss your complete health history, including past weight loss attempts, stress levels, sleep quality, and any digestive issues. The more information you can provide, the better we can tailor your treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your approach different from traditional weight loss programs?

We focus on identifying and treating the underlying causes of weight gain, such as hormone imbalances, food sensitivities, and metabolic dysfunction. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all diet, we create personalized plans based on your unique health profile.

Do I need to follow a restrictive diet?

No, we don't believe in overly restrictive diets that aren't sustainable. Instead, we help you identify foods that work well for your body and create a balanced eating plan you can maintain long-term.

What kind of lab testing might you recommend?

Depending on your symptoms and history, we might suggest testing for thyroid function, food sensitivities, nutrient levels, or hormone balance. All testing is tailored to your individual needs and symptoms.

How long does it typically take to see results?

Most patients begin noticing changes in energy and well-being within 2-4 weeks. Significant weight loss typically becomes apparent after 6-8 weeks, with continued improvement over several months.

Can you help if I have thyroid issues?

Yes, thyroid dysfunction is one of our areas of expertise. We can work alongside your primary care physician or endocrinologist to optimize thyroid function and support healthy weight management.

What aesthetic treatments do you offer?

We provide non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening treatments that complement your weight loss efforts. These help improve skin texture and appearance as you lose weight.

Do you accept insurance or payment plans?

Most services aren't covered by insurance, but we accept HSA/FSA payments. We also offer payment plans to make our comprehensive care more accessible to patients.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, follow-up visits are typically every 2-4 weeks to monitor progress and adjust your plan. As you progress, visits may become less frequent, usually monthly or as needed.
